Having issues with rash from MCN's

[boomba]

My sons both got this I remember reading about the foreskin getting red and inflamed as its slowy working away from the head? Maybe check out drmomma/peaceful parenting it may have some answers?

Have you had it looked at? DS had an infection on his penis once. I don't think it actually needed any treatment, though, just some air and time. Hope he's ok!

Kim - That sounds the same as DS. It looks like he has a little herpe blister on the end.. I'll try a canestan wash in hot water.. If not I'll try the dettol and tea tree wash you suggested.. Thing is, I ALWAYS dry his nappies in full sun so I thought that would kill nasties??

Boomba - If it didn't go away with sposies then come back with cloth I wouldn't be thinking it's due to nappies, but that's what it seems to be. I'll check out the suggested sites though, thanks

MadB - Yes we had it checked, Dr thought it was thrush, I thought it was thrush too cos he gets it in his mouth quite often, he's very prone to it.. She also did urine for UTI which was clear.. He has loads of nappy free time, especially when he is like this and it hasn't seemed to help.

Thanks to everyone else for your input It's much appreciated.

Maybe we had ointment for it...? Have you used an anti-fungal cream?

Yes

Oh! I just remembered. And this is totally unhelpful, also, sorry, but DS had a scratch that got infected. NFI how he scratched his penis. But anyway.
Sorry.

Hiya. I think a strip wash would do the trick and then if you are full sun drying that will be doubly good.

I'd also recommend using a raw silk liner as this can resove nappy rash too, even if it is only his penis.
